Torch for Dog Walking

[tusker]

Could anyone recommend a torch just for general use, dog walking etc. In the £20 bracket rechargable would be good.
Thanks, Tusker

For mid winter I use my Peltor head torch to light whilst I clean up after them. They are only allowed to go whilst on the common, not whilst we run and so it limits the time it is on as I don’t use a torch except for that. The torch kills your night vision and so use it sparingly.

100% headtorch. Whatever eBay / Amazon special if you want rechargeable for twenty quid.
If you want something decent the LED lenser

I like these. Not perfect but pretty decent. I have about four of them.

Sorfin sr12.
£30 on Amazon.
Fantastic, simple, very bright torch.
Has a clip so it can be used as a makeshift head torch with a cap

I got one of these, clear light, simple on/off switch, throws enough light to walk with and the angle of the light is just right

Head torch is the way to go - leaves hands free or able to go in pockets when cold!

I have a couple of LED Lenser ones - an H3.2 which uses 3xAAA batteries & is adequate, plus an H8R which uses an 18650 & has three power settings, it’s like a searchlight on full power!

Punch “ LED Head Torch” into search on eBay. Loads of them come up. Made in China, cheap as chips and damn good value.

Luceco torch from wickes, about £13 -really good and runs on an 18650 battery

I was using a Luceco for a while - until the spindle wore and every time I moved my head the light unit fell forward to point at the ground.

Fair, I've had that on one of them but fixed it with duct tape. The others are fine but that's probably the weakness (I've also got one which comes off the strap easily).

Trouble is when they keep looking up at you, blinded!!!

 

[Radstorm]

as been suggested - head torch - petzl do some good ones for around £20
Equally I have a few olight key ring torches that are really good for their size - also around £20
